Home / Drilling tools

Drill rods, also known as mud pipes, are the main component of a drill string and perform a number of important tasks. The most important of these are: transmitting torque from the drilling rig to the cutting tool and exerting axial pressure on the drilling tool. Drilling rods supply drilling fluid to the hole in order to remove cuttings to the surface and steer the axis of the drilled hole according to specific design assumptions. Drilling rods also perform tasks related to technological functions.

Drilling rods


For difficult drilling

Mud pipes

Drilling rods work in a borehole in difficult conditions, which results in enormous longitudinal, lateral and torsional loads on their surface. They are also exposed to abrasive rock and corrosive effects of drilling fluid. Such working conditions require robustly constructed drill rods with their threaded connections.
